So I was working on my draft and was looking up some mythological creatures for some inspiration. I was wondering what the community's favorite creatures are and why.

I really enjoy the Tsukumogami which are Japanese objects that come to life after 100 years, the Jade Rabbit which lives on the moon and makes the elixir to immortality, and the Wolpertinger, which has the head of a rabbit, the body of a squirrel, the antlers of a deer, and the wings and occasional legs of a pheasant to name a few.

Well, for me, I like the Ouroboros :P; they represent the infinite loop of creation/destruction.

There's also the usual dragon/phoenix, the griffin, the roc. I actually found out about something called a Peryton which I think is pretty sweet (It's like a stag/dragon or bird). Honestly, I usually find mythical creatures I like based on appearance. I say "Hmmm, that's a cool one." and kinda stop there.

The draft for me is all over the place. I'm deciding what to keep, what to scrap, and I haven't even typed it up yet. All I know for sure is that it is going to have to do with hybrids, night, day, and the sun and moon.

Sounds like you might be leaning toward a Vampire/Werewolf type story. If not, then I found an interesting article online that states, "The moon seems to have an effect on animals as well as people. A Florida expert on animal behavior reports that hamsters spin in their wheels far more aggressively during the moon's full phase. Deer and other herbivores in the wild tend to ovulate at the full moon, and in Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the full moon is mating time for coral."

I think it really depends on what your writing about. My personnel favorite is the Phoenix. That being said, I think it is a really good idea to look at the locale of your draft to decide what type of mythical creature to include. For example, if it is near water, a nymph or "Nessie" type creature might be great to include.

I recently tried to create a draft for an SCP about a creature from the Epic of Gilgamesh (The people in chat pointed out several glaring flaws in it and I scrapped the idea.) and in general anything from Mesopotamian mythology interests me.

User, this comment is one in a string of comments you've made since joining the site that comes across as immature, and has no real value as part of the conversation. For the sake of everybody involved, calm down, brother.

I would say I'm a fan of mythological creatures in general, but I find the Dragon to be the most interesting. It is seen so differently across the various cultures, from the symbol of greed in Siegfried's Saga, the guardians of treasure in Greek myths, the agents of foreigners in Slavic folklore and essentially gods in the Far East.

In fact, to create a SCP based on a mythological creature would be something I hope to work on one day.

Faerie/Fae/Thea Fair Folk were powerful baby-abducting creatures who were feared by humanity and who tales of which were used by parents to scare children out of doing anything wrong and just so happened to use incredibly potent magic which came from their home dimension.

Well, it's actually a pretty broad term that covers a lot of different mythical beings. Some of the classical ones are even sympathetic (hell, wasn't the Redcrosse Knight a fairy who got switched with King Arthur at birth in one story?). My take on them has always been that they are, essentially, aliens-before-aliens-were-a-thing. Otherwordly beings with social mores and moralities that are nigh-incomprehensible from a human standpoint, but nevertheless intelligent. Sometimes helpful, sometimes malicious, but always strangely inscrutable.
